I feel like this has probably been discussed before, but Ross, if it comes down to it would you consider starting one for your housing situation? It sounds like it's getting to the point where it would behoove you to have it.

I really don't think that Ross will do another freeman's mind UNTIL he is done with his big project.
Except he has been..?
Production is just halted for now for health/safety reasons as he told us in his latest update.

To be honest Ross, I agree with you on Kyrandia. It could have been done better, but I feel that the game itself wasn't the problem. I wouldn't be averse if in the future you decided to work on the sequels.

Ross, how dare you not cover ALL the games? This is something you really need to consider working on. You owe us!
Anyways, on a more serious note, do you have plans to do any more obscure First Person Shooters?
I've always been fond of the AvP series, but I'm not sure if that's too mainstream for you or not.

I honestly don't see a situation in which Robots actually try to take over, even if they do become sentient. Whose to say they won't see it better off as doing they're jobs, which they were created for, and which they would pretty much be used to.
But yeah I can't say I'm too pleased about robots entering the economy. Unless I'm able to invest in my own personal robot worker that I can hire out to a company and have him do my job for me. That's an interesting idea. Then again, since I hope to be a full time novelist in the upcoming years, hopefully this won't even factor in.
For the Black Mesa thing, that's why I loved your joke episode so much after you left Lambda labs, where you literally just drove off in a jeep. It seems rather realistic as opposed to purposefully going after the Nihilanth, which killing that turned out great for Earth anyways, right? Que Civil Protection.
Also, anyone that does play Guild Wars 2 still, friend me some time, if you feel like it. Konrad Xeroth.4192.

On another note, I'd just like to mention that I would have actually liked to see if I could help you out on your writing problem with fillers and what not, as I have planned to become a writer at some point. I have so many ideas for fictional novels, it's unreal. Unfortunately at the moment I am in the process of becoming a military recruit and am therefore somewhat busy at this point, but if that was to fall through I would simply love the chance to explore possibilities in helping with the writing load.

Ross, I think your fanbase is a lot more dedicated than you think it is. Freeman's Mind may be your best and most popular series, but we love you for being you.
Now, that being said I really have to ask this question. How do you view your video making? Do you plan on doing this as your career? I mean, if you do I think that's great. You're making money, and I love watching your stuff, so it's a win-win. But all I'm asking is would there ever be a point where you would think enough is enough? I mean, obviously one day there would be, but I'm asking before retirement.
Also, extra question, are there any other little hints/details you could give away about this movie of yours, or are you keeping it a much better secret than the HECU ever could hope to?
I really hope it isn't the latter, I don't feel like answering the door to a squad of armed marines.

My guess is he represents another power that take pleasure in pulling the strings of other races to prevent them from ever becoming powerful enough to be a threat. Humans + Vortigaunts are an actual threat.
That's an interesting thought. Perhaps these entities merely used the Combine as a tool, and the release of Gordon Freeman to destroy their holdings on Earth a means of controlling them.
But I always thought of the Gman and his employers as a form of PMC. The Combine "paid" a price to expand through Xen and into Earth, and now the Gman has received a new highest bidder for Gordon's "services".
Think inter-dimensional mercenary.
